mkiv and \setupoutput
by Wolfgang Schuster 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi Hans, there was on TEX SE a question [1] with a problem for s-mag-01.tex. The problem is the \setupoutput command in the file which doesn’t exist anymore in MkIV because there is only PDF as output format. Can you fix this by adding a dummy \setupoutput command or splitting s-mag-01.tex in MkII/MkIV files? [1] http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/186513/error-my-way-modules-at-conte… Wolfgang

Sansserif bold in math doesn’t work
by Wolfgang Schuster 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi, there is a problem with sansserif bold numbers and letter in math mode. In the following example the bold content does sometimes show up in normal weight (you have to do several runs to see it): \starttext $\ss 3a \bf 3a$ \stoptext The problem can be tracked down to the \math_set_font_style (I used the \setmathfontstyle user level command) command: \enabletrackers[math.remapping] \starttext 1: $\setmathattribute{ss}{bf}3$ 2: $\setmathattribute{ss}{bf}\setmathfontstylealterternate{bf}3$ 3: $\setmathattribute{ss}{bf}\setmathfontstyle{bf}3$ 4: $\setmathattribute{ss}{bf}\setmathfontstyle{bf}\setmathfontstylealterternate{bf}3$ 5: $\setmathattribute{ss}{bf}\setmathfontstylealterternate{tf}\setmathfontstyle{bf}\setmathfontstylealterternate{bf}3$ \stoptext Wolfgang

Hi, as seen in the following example the first line of text in the table appears on all pages together with the header, this happens because \NR inserts a \nobreak after the first line in the table. \starttext \setuptabulate[header=repeat] \starttabulatehead \NC A \NC B \NC\NR \stoptabulatehead \starttabulate[|l|l|] \dorecurse{100}{\NC ##1 \NC ##1 \NC\NR} \stoptabulate \stoptext To fix this a penalty setting after the header (which is only added when the header is repeated) content will help: \def\tabl_tabulate_insert_content {\tabl_tabulate_insert_head + \ifcase\c_tabl_tabulate_repeathead \else + \tabulatenoalign{\penalty\zerocount}% + \fi \tabl_tabulate_insert_body \tabl_tabulate_insert_foot \tabl_tabulate_remove_funny_line} BTW: I had to use \penalty because \directvpenalty doesn’t work.

Hi, there is a extra “cn” at the end of the following two conversion names which should be removed: \defineconversion [chinesecapnumeralscn] [\chinesecapnumerals] \defineconversion [chineseallnumeralscn] [\chineseallnumerals] Wolfgang

Hi, the settings for the \c_tabl_tabulate_repeathead counter have to be global because they are currently set in a group and the split process for the table content happens after the group. \def\tabl_tabulate_process {\c_tabl_tabulate_pass\plusone \tabl_tabulate_check_full_content ... \ifdone - \c_tabl_tabulate_repeathead\executeifdefined{\??tabulateheader\tabulationparameter\c!header}\zerocount + \global\c_tabl_tabulate_repeathead\executeifdefined{\??tabulateheader\tabulationparameter\c!header}\zerocount \else - \c_tabl_tabulate_repeathead\zerocount + \global\c_tabl_tabulate_repeathead\zerocount \fi ... \egroup} % whole thing Wolfgang

Fake bold math fails sometimes
by Wolfgang Schuster 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, when a formula as with bold text context switches sometimes to the wrong alphabet, e.g. in this example \starttext {\bf 3 $3$} \stoptext context shows sometimes (you have to run the example a few times until it shows up) a sansserif bold 3 instead of a normal bold 3. The minimal example below shows this happens when the \mathfamilyattribute has the value 6, 7 or 8: \setupbodyfont[xits] \unprotected\def\font_helpers_synchronize_math_family{} \enabletrackers[math.families] \starttext 0: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\zerocount 3 $} 1: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plusone 3 $} 2: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plustwo 3 $} 3: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plusthree 3 $} 4: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plusfour 3 $} 5: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plusfive 3 $} 6: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plussix 3 $} 7: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\plusseven 3 $} 8: {\bf 3 $ \attribute\mathfamilyattribute\pluseight 3 $} \stoptext Wolfgang

meta-ini.mkiv: \setupMPgraphics
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hi, when you use the \setupMPgraphics command in a document, e.g. \setupMPgraphics[] \starttext \stoptext the following error message appears: lua error > error on line 1 in file /Users/wolf/TeX/test.tex: [\directlua]:1: decimal escape too large near '\457‘ The reason for this is the use of \directMPgraphicsparameter which expands to \relax in the following block (can be found at the end of meta-ini.mkiv): \appendtoks \edef\p_mpy{\directMPgraphicsparameter{mpy}}% \ifx\p_mpy\empty \else \let\MPdataMPYfile\p_mpy \ctxlua{metapost.makempy.registerfile("\p_mpy")}% \fi \to \everysetupMPgraphics Wolfgang

MetaPost 1.999 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

I am happy to announce a new (and my final) release of MetaPost: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost 1.999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the pre-release for Metapost 2.000. The only functional difference between this version and 1.901 is the addition of the 'binary' numbersystem. This version will *not* be included in TL2014, for two reasons: * integration of the required GMP & MPFR libraries into the texlive build system is not trivial, and is better postponed until after the current TL release. * Not a lot of testing has been done yet. A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/ You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout: $ svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.999 The password is anonsvn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is new in MetaPost version 1.999: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * The numbersystem 'binary' is now operational. For the last time from me: Have fun! Taco Hoekwater, for the MetaPost team, April 9, 2014
